Chapter 1003 - 459: After Turning 18, a Man Should Stop Dressing Like a Child
[At the grand gathering of the clan, some disciples, driven solely by their desire for fun, blatantly ignored the clan rules and attempted to sneak away. As a saint of the clan, how could I just stand by and watch this happen?][Timed Mission Triggered!]
[Mission Six: Within two hours, capture at least ten disciples who left the venue for fun in defiance of the rules and give them a minor punishment to instill fear and prevent future transgressions (0/10).]
[Mission Rewards: Physical Improvement: Magic effect increased by 100%; Random Pills*1; System Currency*100]
This is the task that just popped up.
Lin Li glanced over the system panel, quickly scanning it before turning his gaze to the group of boys he had spotted earlier, watching them run towards the teaching building.
He began recalling the conversation he overheard just before they left, right when the mission was triggered:
—"The internet on the field is so laggy, it’s impossible to play."
—"Why don’t we sneak back to the classroom to play? Anyway, they probably won’t take roll call again, and if the teacher asks, we’ll just say we went to the bathroom."
—"...Sounds like a plan."
—"Shall we go?"
—"Let’s go."
Based on this conversation, Lin Li easily deduced that the two left the field because the internet was too slow, so they wanted to find a less crowded place with a better signal to game.
And this was exactly what triggered the mission.
Thus, the target of "disciples leaving the venue for fun in defiance of the rules" is quite understandable.
"Capture ten and give them a minor punishment" seems feasible.
Those who left definitely weren’t just the two he observed.
After all, during the school’s New Year’s Gala, while Lin Li’s viewing experience so far was not bad, it wasn’t particularly exciting either.
The performers are just students and some teachers, not professional entertainers.
Moreover, even the TV stations’ New Year’s Eve shows and Spring Festival Galas don’t appeal to everyone.
Without phones, compared to evening self-study, everyone would enjoy watching it, as anything is more interesting than studying. But now, with phones, having other ideas is normal. It’s definitely possible to gather ten people from two grades.
Additionally, to facilitate management, the dormitory doors are locked during class time, so those who want to play on phones can’t return to their rooms, reducing the difficulty of the search.
Lin Li was still pondering over the task’s requirement to "instill fear and prevent future transgressions."
But soon, Lin Li smiled slightly.
He had an idea.
"I’m going to the bathroom."
With his mind clear, Lin Li planned to put his idea into action. He greeted Bai Bufan beside him and then turned to walk towards the teaching building.
"I’m going too. I happen to need to pee," Bai Bufan snapped his fingers and got up, grabbing Lin Li.
Lin Li raised an eyebrow and glanced at Bai Bufan.
"What’s up?"
Bai Bufan’s clear and puzzled eyes showed that he hadn’t noticed anything unusual, he just genuinely needed to pee.
In the bathroom, this assumption was confirmed.
Lin Li’s stream was like water from a faucet set to an energy-saving mode, steady and natural, at a standard flow rate.
While Bai Bufan—
"Zzzzzz!!!"
Sounded like a high-pressure industrial water gun, urgent and forceful, not flowing but blasting out, the sound carrying a momentum on its own!
This guy didn’t just want to pee; he’d been holding it in for a while.
Watching Bai Bufan focused, using his lower body to draw circles in the urinal, Lin Li couldn’t help but lift his chin, "Yo, got a new member? So energetic?"
"Yeah." Bai Bufan paused, then immediately nodded with a smile.
"What about the old one?"
"I put the old one on Zhuanzhuan to sell," Bai Bufan eagerly recommended to Lin Li:
"To have such a smooth, strong, and forkless stream, you need a good one. Thanks to the new black model I bought on Zhuanzhuan, which was a few thousand cheaper than buying a brand new one, I saved enough to buy another white one.
Zhuanzhuan is the official second-hand platform. I always recycle the ones I don’t use on there. When you place an order, someone comes to collect it. They even took my old one, which had a crooked stream and syphilis, and paid over three thousand for it, right on the spot.
For buying and selling second-hand items, I only recommend Zhuanzhuan~
Lin Li: (๑•̀ㅂ•́)و✧!
Though Lin Li gave Bai Bufan a thumbs up, he thought a platform willing to recycle an old one with syphilis wasn’t worth recommending.
Lin Li couldn’t imagine the despair of the man who bought Bai Bufan’s old one.
The next second, with an idea in mind, Lin Li turned his thumb down, his tone suddenly full of superiority and pride, scoffing at Bai Bufan:
"You’re so lame, Bufan. When I swapped out my old one, the village borrowed it to use as a utility pole before I could sell it."
"You son of a—!" Bai Bufan laughed and cursed, "Why didn’t you let the Empire State Building use it as a load-bearing wall? I really should blast some sense into you."
After finishing, the two washed their hands.
"Tsk, tsk, honestly, I think some sinks are just brain-dead designs."
Looking at the sink filled with water collected by the previous user, Bai Bufan frowned deeply and complained with disdain.
Can’t they add a chain to every plug in the sink?
The designer has clearly never experienced the suffering of reaching into a dirty sink to unplug it with a filthy hand.
